European Commission – EURATOM5th Framework programme

ENEN project in January 2002 – December 2003

Following declarations and policies on phasing out nuclear power plants, nuclear sciences and disciplines are facingdecreasing interest and a reduced numbers of studentsno successors for retiring professorsdiscontinuing nuclear related courses and closing faculties

The “European Nuclear Engineering Network” project:established the basis for conserving nuclear knowledge and expertisecreated a European Higher Education Area for nuclear disciplinesfacilitated the implementation of the Bologna declaration in thenuclear disciplines

HISTORY and DEVELOPMENT


The main objective is the preservation and further development of expertise in the nuclear fields by higher education and training

Promote and further develop the collaboration in nuclear education and training of students, researchers and professionals

Ensure the quality of nuclear education and training

Increase the attractiveness for engagement in the nuclear fields for students, researchers and professionals

Promote life-long learning and career development at post-graduate or equivalent level

ENEN - Objectives


It should be achieved by…

Support to the Universities (exchange of students,

lecturers, materials and information etc.)

Making a bridge between the Universities and the

End-users (industries, regulatory bodies, research

centres, etc.)

Master level : European MSc in Nuclear Engineering


Student receiving the ENEN EMSNE certificate during the Student receiving the ENEN EMSNE certificate during the FISA conference, Prague June 22FISA conference, Prague June 22ndnd, 2009, 2009

EMSNE Certificates 2007- 08


• A new program for a Master of Science degree in Nuclear Engineering

• Offered jointly by the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology, EPF Lausanne and ETH Zurich.

• One semester course at each of the two university (Lausanne, Zurich),

• Master's research project will generally be carried out at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI)

Started in September 2008

Master level : New Master in Switzerland


Starting from September 2008

The objective of this “ new” Nuclear Engineering speciality is to provide students with in- depth education in the field of nuclear reactors physics for the purpose of using existing tools, developing and constructing 3G reactors, and designing and developing the future systemsInternship: 5 months.

• The Council welcomes the existence within the European Union of coordinated teaching and training leading to qualifications in the nuclear field, provided notably by the ENEN.

• The Council hopes that, with the help of the EU, ENEN and its members will continue to develop the coordination of nuclear education and training in Europe.

• The Council insists that the appropriate conditions must be created for mutual recognition of nuclear professional qualifications throughout the European Union.

• The Council encourages the Member States and the Commission to establish a "review of professional qualifications and skills" in the nuclear field for the European Union, which would give an overall picture of the current situation and enable appropriate solutions to be identified and implemented.

EU EU CouncilCouncil, 1, 1--2 December 20082 December 2008Adopted the conclusions which refers explicitly to the ENEN and to other FP6/FP7 initiatives originated by the ENEN
